David Stick will be missed not only by the residents and guests visiting the Outer Banks, but by the entire state of NC. His vast knowledge about our state, citizens, customs and history will be sorely missed.
David Stick was a true gentleman. I remember the first time I met him, he was such a charmer. We sat on his porch in the swing and he talked and talked about his life. What an extraordinary life he has led, he has been all over the world and has had an incredible life. Can you imagine meeting Amelia Earhart, or Orville Wright? David met them both and loved to tell the story of how he almost fell out of the truck until Amelia Earhart wrapped her arms around him (he was 8 years old at the time) to keep him in the truck.
His love of his family was second to none, his three sons, their families were all very much a part of his life. He loved them all dearly and relished in their successes in their lives. A favorite memory of mine is a photo that was taken at the History Center in Manteo, his entire family was there and they gathered his grand children for a photo with him in the center. It was a priceless moment.
David Stick will be missed for many reasons, but I personally will miss the many stories about his life and activities over the years. David, your legacy will live on with your children, grand children. You have left your mark on the Outer Banks. For those of us fortunate to have been able to know you on a personal side, our lives will never be the same with out you in our midst. Rest well, David, you’ve earned it.
